More and more families like to keep some pets at home, and now cats are loved more and more, with a pair of gorgeous big eyes, and we often use the Meow Star people to call them, is a particularly cute animal, but even so cute they are still directly called stupid cats, but they are really stupid cats?
In the home to keep a cat can also catch mice for us, keep a long time will find that the cat will often do some unexpected things, and human behavior is very similar, we also have to sigh a cat’s IQ in the end equivalent to the human how many years old? In fact, the internal structure of the cat’s brain and the human brain is the same, the only difference is that the neocortex of the human brain is extremely developed, the animal brain can not be compared.
For cats, they rely on vision, smell and mouth to recognize things around them, after six months from birth, the cat’s IQ can be equivalent to the intelligence of a year and a half, after which its cognitive ability will not develop, but the cat’s body after two years of age, to human growth rate of seven times in growth, that is, their year is equivalent to seven years of humans. So the average cat’s IQ is equivalent to a 1 to 2 year old child, but the specifics still vary from cat to cat, if the cat has undergone some training, the IQ aspect will be a little higher than the original. But it is also because their IQ is only so high, which makes the cat as pure and lovely as a small baby. At night, cats start to show their skills of catching mice, its vigilance is very high, for this point, we humans are absolutely unable to compare with it.
Their IQ is not high, but they can use other skills, for example, they are using the sense of smell to identify their owners and strangers, it is said that the IQ of rats can reach 8 years old in humans, so it is said that the IQ of cats can not even compare to small mice. But its mobility and other aspects do or can, we assess a cat can not only use IQ to speak, they are still quite smart.
